1 edit | May have been 10 M app downloads; but lots of problems It may be months before the App store shakes out and Firmware fixes and APP fixes solve the problems.

As I'm sure many of you have noticed, many of the applications from the App Store are crashing frequently. Basically, an app I want to launch opens a blank screen, pauses for a moment, and then drops me back to my home screen without so much as an apology.
You're probably, like me, thinking that it's a shame that so many developers rushed so quickly to make the App Store deadline and ended up putting out unstable applications. According to the development community, though, it's not their fault ... it's Apple's.
Anonymous developer sources are reporting that they've been poring over crash logs and discovering that the reported crash has nothing to do with their application. There's a growing consensus that Apple has released a highly unstable "final" version of the 2.0 firmware.

I think the 2.0 firmware was rushed. I tried out the old iPhone 1.1.4, and it was very responsive with no lag in the interface at all. I'm on 2.0 on a 3G, and the lag makes it seem more like a Windows Mobile device. That, coupled with a few lockups, make me think it wasn't ready for prime time.
I like the iPhone, I don't understand Apple fanboyism. Maybe it's their size now that makes them rush out products, but between this and a new Macbook I have that frequently locks up I've been less than impressed after I got over their "wow" factor.
